Adelante Healthcare in Mesa is the first LEED-platinum community health care center in the country and features 43,000 square feet of Class A medical office space.

There were two major challenges with this project: Budget and timing. Adelante Healthcare requested the LEEDplatinum building and needed it in just over 11 months from conceptual design to kick off. Cawley Architects and LGE worked an aggressive timeline and were able to design, engineer and permit drawings in under three months.

Creative design with the use of natural light, local materials and energy-efficient infrastructure helped the project in receiving its LEED goals.

The comprehensive health center is on the northwest corner of the East Valley Institute of Technology campus at 1705 W. Main St. in Mesa.
